The '''Latvian Soccer Dogs''' were an alliance originally formed with the aim to "help protect nations and individuals from larger countries and alliances that LSD rhetoric claimed to be satellites of the [[World Police]]", who allegedly "sought to control them".
==
The core group of the Latvian Soccer Dogs ultimately descended from an [[altraider]] crew known as Team Rocket, planned in January 2019, in which [[Parker]], [[Soerxpso]], and [[ashnwill]] were to acquire gimmick accounts themed after Pokémon characters James, Jesse, and Meowth respectively, and commit acts of terrorism against World Police infrastructure and bunkers in cities such as [[Mt. Augusta]]. This plan fell through when Parker discovered he was association banned, so Soerxpso ended up raiding on his own on the account PearlOnSight and was captured. Around this time, [[Pirater]]'s [[Soviakorps]] committed the bombing of [[Nyasaland]], in which they used TNT to destroy a largely unreinforced town constructed by transgender members of the community. ashnwill knew Pirater from [[Devoted 2.0]], and contacted him offering his services as an e-lawyer. Pirater accepted and a new discord chat was created to conduct discussion.
On the 7th of September 2019, the [[Entente]] and [[SATO]] launched a joint operation<ref>[[Entente]] statement: https://old.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/d1d0dj/the_ententes_statement_regarding_yesterdays/▼
This discord chat continued to grow until it was dubbed '''ashgang'''. It attracted the diaspora of the [[Chanseatic State]], which had been recently destroyed by the [[NATO]] alliance. This included [[Rurik]], the former leader of [[Vitelia]], who was convinced to return about 3,000 diamonds that Vitelia had altraided from ashnwill's ++ nation [[Nueva Myrador]] in the fall of 2018; along with [[ChrisChrispie]], the founder of [[Icenia]]. The overwhelmingly-channer population of ashgang was eventually balanced out by the inclusion of the original Nyasalanders (the same ones bombed by Pirater) after their falling-out with the World Police, along with various others disenchanted with both NATO and the WP. These anti-WP, anti-NATO sentiments caused the group to attain an underdog mentality and a desire to become influential and strong enough to become "the ''real'' good guys" on the world stage.
In mid-2019, the [[UDF]] alliance was founded, who claimed to be a third-party neutral alliance. One of its chief leaders was ChrisChrispie, a former ashgang member, which led the group to believe it to be "based" and aligned with the same goals. ashnwill contacted [[SoundTech]], the defense minister of Icenia, and proposed that ashgang could merge into his nation and eventually serve as its military and defense wing. This offer was accepted and he began constructing a vault in the southern Icenian territory. After a non-insignificant amount of effort had been put into this vault hole, ChrisChrispie developed cold feet about opposing the World Police and decided to expel ashgang from the city. This caused ashnwill to almost cross the Rubicon and start a civil war, but he was calmed by the offer of several stacks of diamond blocks by the Icenian government as compensation for the wasted effort. The world border to the south of [[Laconia]] was briefly considered as the location for a new vault project, but [[Impulca]] reached out and offered citizenship in the quiet archipelago of [[Nudist Beach]] to continue their work there, and this was accepted. The materials that had been invested in the southern Icenian vault site were quickly reclaimed, and moved in two trips to dropchests under Nudist Beach.

Impulca founded a new nation known as [[Sassari]], centered on the Nudist Beach archipelago, and overclaimed the territories of fallen [[Rhodesia]]. He envisioned the construction of a large system of ramparts and fortifications stretching from Nudist Beach all the way to the world border to the west, and began digging a trench as the first step. The construction of a vault, dubbed [[Hotel California]], began under a world border nether island that had previously been an unfinished Rhodesian ghast farm.
The members of ashgang felt that their Kool Kids Klub had grown enough to warrant some formalization as an official alliance. During a night of brainstorming new names, recreational drug related backronyms were thrown around. These included MDMA, the "Mutual Defense Military Agreement", along with several other stupid ideas. Eventually, [[Raven]] came up with the gem suggestion of LSD, or "Latvian Soccer Dogs". This was immediately adopted, and within 10 minutes Pirater drew up the image that would become the official banner. Several nations were contacted to ask if they wanted to join the new alliance, of which New Sovia, Sassari, and Unitas joined as a matter of course, and [[Adina]] was convinced after some discussion. Laconia was invited for discussions and agreed to some limited cooperation, but their fully joining the alliance was vetoed by oligarch [[Tofee_Dodger]] based on his personal distaste for ashnwill.
The alliance was officially announced in August 2019, and immediately ran into antagonism from the UDF, whose ChrisChrispie believed that LSD had revenge machinations in the works against him. The city of [[West Isle]] was founded in Icenia, and grew until it was a major political influence within the nation. After a failed election bid, some of their leaders became disenchanted with Icenian leadership and began to desire independence. To this end, they got in touch with the leadership of LSD, in the hopes of acquiring military assistance. The main plan that was drawn up was for the West Islers to join LSD on an individual basis, so that their defense would fall within the confines of the LSD charter if they were attacked by Icenia. Icenian leadership became convinced that cooperation between LSD and West Isle was meant to lead to a full-scale war between UDF and LSD, while LSD believed that West Isle's independence could be attained without fighting. In the end, neither scenario got a chance to play out, and West Isle would ultimately become an abandoned ghost town. The [[Chic-Fil-A Crisis]] also served to greatly inflame tensions between UDF and LSD.
